Day 1 of the 2nd Test:
On a tricky and spinning wicket, New Zealand skipper Tom Latham won a crucial toss and without any second thoughts chose to bat first. The Kiwi captain perished cheaply as the Black Caps lost the first wicket for 32. New Zealand was heading towards a mini collapse against India. However, the New Zealand innings was saved by the fightback shown by Devon Conway (76 off 141) and Rachin Ravindra (65 off 105). Some last-moment striking from the lower-order batsman, Mitchell Santner took the score to 259.

However, the day has belonged to Washington Sundar and his sensational 7/59- a performance with which he showcased his attributes and control with the ball. Picked ahead of Kuldeep Yadav, the 25-year-old off-spinner delivered the goods in some style, making the most of the help that was on offer. What makes it all the more memorable is the manner of a lot of the dismissals.
